Playing

I think I will soon have a series - my entertainment whilst washing up!

This Hogweed (I think that’s what it is/was) had suddenly appeared outside the gate and I watched a whole bunch of young Sparrows as they landed on stems, stayed for a few seconds bouncing and then flew off and often onto the wall.

They may have been eating the seeds or finding insects, but I actually think they were playing. The way they waited on the wall and then landed on a stem and seemed to enjoy the way the stem bounced them, I’m sure was deliberate. It was like a playground.

Sadly Gordon was around with his strimmer and cut it down - spoilsport! I suppose it did look a bit silly stuck there. I’m sure the Sparrows will find somewhere else to play.

Warm and humid today.
